4. As discussed by Skilling, there are in total seven versions of the Dhvajāgrasūtra in Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan, plus two partial citations (in the Chinese Dai zhidu lun 大智度論 [Taishō 1509], and in Sthiramati’s Pañcaskandaprakaraṇavaibhāṣā [phung po lnga’i rab tu byed pa bye brag tu bshad pa, Toh 4066], which survives only in Tibetan). The Central Asian Sanskrit witness of the Dhvajāgrasūtra corresponds to Dhvajāgrasūtra [2] (Toh 293). For more on the correspondences and overlaps between the versions, see Skilling 1994–97, vol. 2, pp. 404–5.
